Vance W. Amory International Airport (IATA: NEV, ICAO: TKPN) serves the island of Nevis in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The airport has a single runway, which is approximately 1,220 meters (4,000 feet) long. The airport is located just west of the village Newcastle, Nevis, in Saint James Windward Parish.

The airport was previously known as Bambooshay Airport, then Newcastle Airport.

The airport is available to many aircraft, it being an international airport.
